Lay's Hot & Sour Fish Soup Flavour Chips
Origin-China
Rating-Good
These were my buddy's favourite chips while he was in China, so he insisted I try them. I thought, "Oh great, chips that taste like fucking rotting fish." But I was wrong. They have a subtle flavour that is not offensive at all. No overpowering fish taste. I wouldn't go out of my way to get them, but they really weren't that bad.

Wrigley's Doublemint Cucumber Gum
Origin-China
Rating-Awesome
My buddy brought this back from China for me. I was hesitant at first, I don't even like cucumber. But I was pleasantly surprised. Sort of a minty cucumber flavour. When you pop one in your mouth, you sort of are perplexed for a minute, like this doesn't seem right. But then they kind of grow on you. Nothing offensive at all. Kind of a good time really.

Green Plus Fruit Snack - Tomato & Tamarind Flavor
Origin - Thailand
Rating - Not so Good
If you are a Canadian or American reader, you may remember *Fizz* candies? The hard candy with the fizzy sherbert powder center? These are somewhat like those but soft and not really fizzy and taste like tamarind. Stupid, I know, but that's what they remind me of! I'm not sure where the tomato flavor comes into play, I couldn't taste any. These are just boring and blah.

Century Tuna - Tuna Loaf
Origin - Philippines
Rating - Donkey Shit
I held off on this one frankly because I was scared. It looks somewhat alright on the can but as we all know, the guts are the glory. It smells like cat food, however, Devo (our cat) would shy away every time I brought this close to her nose.....not a good sign! Take this as a warning in the future, like when miners used birds as a sign of danger. Luckily Devo is not dead. I, on the other hand, feel as though I may perish at any time and I can't wash the smell off my hands.....it's become part of me....
Upon emptying the can, I was disappointed to see that you couldn't get it out like the picture suggests, in *loaf* form. It looks like silly putty and feels clammy and dense. Our tuna loaf dish tastes artificial, like what tuna might taste like if it were manufactured. Totally awful, not even the MSG is lending a helping hand. Thanks again Philippines!
The texture was retched. It was dry and crumbly kind of like flour & water that had been sitting out. I think that's the worst part of this product, the texture. Devo also hates me a bit more....

*UPDATE* ~ CAN BE USED THE SAME AS SILLY PUTTY! YAY FOR POPEYE!

Kurkure Green Chutney Rajasthani Style
Origin - India
Rating - Not So Good
These could easily be mistaken for crunchy Cheeto's texture wise but they are bland and a smell like dog food with lime. Definitely not the worst chips I've had but just not that great, they're the slightest bit spicy and have a slight lime taste. What offends me is the back of the bag, look, if you know your product sucks don't try to influence me into dressing it up with bad recipes. I'm not going to shove these into a waffle cone with potatoes, that's just madness. I know, let's pour strawberry ramune in our eyes while we're at it. Someone needs to hold these guys down with a slap and finger point.

Kurkure- Green Chutney
Rating: Donkey Shit
They look like hard cheezie's and smell like something went sour and died. And they taste like shards of some rancid old man's petrified socks. And they want me to ruin a perfectly good ice cream cone with these?

Lay's Brand - India's Magic Masala
Origin - India
Rating - Boston Baked Beans
I'm not so sure about these. Don't get me wrong, I love Indian food but these are kinda funky. I could just be biased from my last masala experience (WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!). I like the fact that these are spicy and a little savory but there's this underlying funk that I don't care for. It's like a sour shoe taste, I don't know. Magic Masala is definitely not as "Dhak Dhak" as the bag claims and more "Burn it with fire" if it gets out of control.

Look, here's our friend again. "What...are...you...rambling...about...you...fucking...psycho?". India's answer to the Branch Davidians perhaps? It's a Dillogical mystery...
Magic Masala Lays
Rating: Boston Baked Beans
They smell like ginger and chili's as they should. It was a promising start. The taste while you're chewing is frankly strange. There's a funk that I just can't put my finger on. But then the after taste is really nice and spicy. Yummy really. So I put another in my mouth and was reminded of how it was kinda gross...but then it was tasty again. And with each subsequent chip I felt stupider and stupider.

Oishi Brand - Marty's Baconette Strips
Origin - Philippines
Rating - Good
If it weren't for the immediate stench of Paul Bunyan's taint upon opening the bag, I think I would have enjoyed them a little more. What's all this shit about "No Meat Goodness"? There's no bacon in the baconette strips. They taste close to pork rinds though, a little smokey and salty. They have a crunch close to flatted Funyuns but not soggy. They're not bad, a little beer always helps.

Baconette Strips
Rating: Good
Even though they were kind enough to include TBHQ (whatever the hell that is) to retard rancidity the pkg. still warns you to consume immediately after opening. So, let's move fast we don't want them to turn to dust Weenie Tots style. I was expecting these to have a horrendous gag inducing dog treat smell and was pleasantly surprised when it had an only mildly disgusting dog treat smell. But you know what? They're not bad. It's like Marty took a cheeto, put smoky bacon chip flavoring on it then ran it over with a steamroller.
